(Translation: John Caspar, by the grace of God, administrator of Prussia, Teutonic Order)
Reverse description The Virgin Mary stands in full figure, facing the viewer, crowned with a nimbed crown and clothed in flowing drapery. In her right hand she holds a long sceptre or stave, while her left arm cradles the Christ Child, who is likewise depicted with a nimbus. A large radiant oval glory or mandorla emanates from behind the figures, filling the field with rays in the Baroque devotional manner. The surrounding Latin legend proclaims the Grand Master's title and lordship over Freudenthal and Eulenberg, with the date 1666 incorporated into the inscription.
